First, let’s learn what PVC plastic film is.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. It is referred to as “toxic plastic” by Greenpeace International. However, due to its low cost and ease of production, it has become the second most widely used plastic after PE. Today, it is found everywhere in our daily lives, posing a serious threat to the environment and human health.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does Greenpeace International call PVC “toxic plastic”?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

PVC is the only chlorinated plastic among the five main types of common plastics. Because it contains chlorine, its flexibility can be changed by adding plasticizers. PVC without plasticizers is rigid, like water pipes. But PVC with plasticizers can be soft, like plastic wrap.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to plasticizers, PVC also has very poor heat resistance. To prevent PVC products from cracking under sunlight or high temperatures, stabilizers must be added, often heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and zinc. Therefore, PVC is not simply PVC; it also contains plasticizers and stabilizers that are harmful to health and the environment. While PVC without additives is non-toxic, it is also useless.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason Greenpeace International calls PVC “toxic plastic” is not simply whether it contains additives, but also because it harms the environment and human health at every stage of its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction, production and use to disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What are the main hazards of using PVC?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The entire life cycle of PVC involves toxic substances. From the raw material chlorine, to the intermediate product EDC (dichloroethane) during production, to VCM (vinyl chloride, a monomer used to polymerize PVC) produced from EDC; then the stabilizers (such as lead and cadmium) and plasticizers (phthalates, such as DEHP) added when PVC is processed into various products, and hydrochloric acid and dioxins (“the poison of the century”) generated by incineration after disposal, all of these substances pose significant toxic hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What are the main restricted substances related to PVC in the EU?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The EU RoHS Directive (2011\/65\/EU) targets all electronic and electrical products exported to Europe. This directive has regulated the restriction or prohibition of certain hazardous chemicals for many years.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In 2015, an amending directive ((EU) 2015\/863) was issued to announce an increase in the number of regulated hazardous substances.<\/span><\/p>\n

    From the original six restricted substances (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr+6, PBB, PBDE), four more substances were added \u2013 phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Market surveillance and random inspections will officially begin on July 22, 2019. Currently, the most commonly used plasticizers in PVC products are phthalate esters, more than 90% of phthalate ester plasticizers are used in PVC materials and among them, diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is the most widely used and is a substance banned in the European Union<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Are there any alternative materials for PVC products currently in use?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Plasticized PVC products are very common in everyday life and are widely used in building materials (such as PVC floor tiles), food packaging (shrink film), films, pipes, toys, containers, and medical devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Due to PVC’s low cost and excellent performance, different applications require different materials. Currently, there are new materials that can replace it\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
